Day of the Dead Festival
Sketches November 2009 The Crockett Brothers Lecture: Bones and Joints Strauss, Tomkins, Zivian Trio The Festival of Trees Day of the Dead Festival Day of the Dead Dia de los Muertos hand crafted altars on display, the "artists" will gladly introduce you to who is being honored. Often there will be their favorite food, something to remind them of their favorite past times, many photographs of their life and occasionally favorite hats or boots. You will walk away feeling you know a little about that person and how much they are remembered and still loved by family and friends. Sunday, November 1, 2009 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. Gualala Arts Center - Admission is Free - Day of the Dead will be celebrated at the Gualala Arts Center on Sunday, November 1 from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. Complementing the celebration will be an exhibit of shrines and the exciting return of the Los Caporales de Santa Rosa Mariachi troup performing with the Coast Folkloric Dancers. Authentic Mexican food and drinks will be available for purchase. While Día de los Muertos is a tradition unique to Mexico, it is becoming a very popular holiday in the United States. Javier Chavez, bilingual bicultural family advocate for Action Network, comments, "There is an appeal here which just crosses right over the culture line. People who are Latino, who speak no Spanish, really relate to the experience. I think this is because it's an integration of life and death - it's about family togetherness, and honoring who we are. This eases the grief of losing someone we care for, and it takes away the fear." Many well-known local artists use their skills to adapt their favorite media into something shrine-like, often with a touch of humor, but always respectful. The shrines were so successful in 2008 that this year the exhibit will expand into the Burnett Gallery and Jacob Foyer plus on the beautifully landscaped grounds. The exhibit will be up through Sunday, November 15. Enjoy the shrines, feast on the home-made tamales, but what you will remember is the mariachi troop singing from the heart, people dancing everywhere and the swirling skirts of the folkloric dancers. All generations of the local Mexican community clap for their favorite Mexican state dance while all generations share the warmth of the local community. America's traditional Halloween has its roots in ancient Celtic festivals marking the dissolution of the boundaries between the living and the dead. To protect the crops and livestock, they arranged celebrations to placate and distract the roaming souls. The Catholic Church introduced All Soul's Day and the belief that souls were released from Purgatory and allowed to walk the earth so the tradition began of making offerings to these feared souls. The Mexican expression of these ideas seems to have selected the best of all these traditions. The elaborately iced sugar Calaveras (skulls) bring out the kid in each of us while the traditional altars reveal a reverence for those who have died. As you walk among the Sketches 2 Gualala Arts Center Saturday, November 7, 2009 at 7:30 p.m. Doors open at 7:00 p.m. Tickets are $25 in advance, $5 more day of the performance. No-host bar will be available. The Crockett Brothers The Crockett Brothers (Joel, Chris & Jeremy), who bill themselves as “Authentic Brothers in an Artificial World,” search for the 60’s musical style that will turn them into the next Beach Boys, Beatles, Bob Seger, Byrds, Bob Dylan or Brothers Four. Their Back to the ‘60s concert features some of the best known songs of the era, including Folk, Country, Folk Rock, DooWop, Surf, British Invasion and that good old Rock and Roll. Laugh along as they dramatize the struggles and minor victories in their quest for fame and fortune. Listen to their own spin as they sing favorites from the sixties and share original songs and stories from their self-fabled past (including their now collectible tunes from the era of Del-Fi Records, “Mother Mother May I Go Surfing” and “Fastest Car In Town”). Introduced by radio personality Fred Adler. The show will begin with Chris Crockett, a master Northern California songwriter. He’ll play a few original solo compositions and then reminisce, with a little help from his bookselling brothers, on those heady days of yesteryear. Joining them on the keyboard will be the talented Don Krieger. The tales will be tall; the music will be memorable. The night will be fun. Local book store owners, Joel and Jeremy Crockett, and their middle brother, Christopher, were born into a musical family. Their father, John Crockett, performed on his own radio show in Fresno, California, when he was only 12 years old. Later, he and his whole family starred as “hillbilly” musicians on their own weekly national radio show. At one point, Billboard Magazine listed John as one of the United States’ 10 top country guitarists. The Crockett Brothers John encouraged his sons to explore music. He sang with them and taught them harmonies. And he continued to pursue his own musical interests as a songwriter, singer and guitar player. Joel, probably because he was the oldest, was the first to express real interest in music. As a youngster he often sang with his brothers. In school he was a member of the school chorus and he sang in the church choir. After high school, he and some of his friends started a singing group called The Outsiders. Eventually they signed a recording contract with Eastman Records, a small label in Southern California. About this time, Joel’s younger brother Christopher began to show increasing interest in music. It quickly became evident that his talents, both as a writer and as a singer, far eclipsed Joel’s. He joined The Outsiders for their last one or two recordings, after which he, Joel and their youngest brother Jeremy started their own group with the highly creative name, The Crockett Brothers. They signed a contract with Del-Fi records, the label which included such artists as Johnny Crawford (from “The Rifleman” TV series) and Richie Valens (“La Bamba”). After several years of singing together, The Crockett Brothers went their separate ways. The only one to stay continuously involved with music has been Christopher. He performs and writes. Occasionally, however, the brothers still get together . . . mostly just to have fun. Sketches 3 Gualala Arts Chamber Music Series presents: Axel Strauss serves as Professor of Violin at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music.

He has performed at many music festivals such as the Moab Music Festival in Utah, the International Music Academy and Festival in Seoul in Korea, and the Kammermusiktage Mettlach in Germany. Strauss performs on an outstanding violin by J.F. Pressenda, Turin 1845, on extended loan through the generous efforts of the Stradivari Society in Chicago. Strauss, Tomkins, Zivian Trio Sunday, November 8, 2009 at 4:00 p.m. at the Gualala Arts Center Tickets are $20 for advance purchases; $5 more on the day of the concert (buy your tickets early!). Children and young people ages 7 through 17 are admitted free. Pianist Eric Zivian, cellist Tanya Tompkins and violinist Axel Strauss will perform at Gualala Arts Center on Sunday, November 8, 2009 at 4:00 p.m. Each of these highly acclaimed musicians enjoys a full and active international schedule as a recitalist, soloist, and chamber musician. What these musicians share, in addition to their universally recognized technical brilliance, is a passion for making the music come alive. Individual stars in their own right, together they make musical fireworks wherever they perform. Tanya Tomkins studied at the University of Southern California with Gabor Rejto and the California Institute of the Arts with Ron Leonard. She studied with cellist Anner Bijlsma earning a soloist’s diploma at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague in 1987. Inspired by Mr. Bijlsma, Tomkins became interested in performing with original instruments. As a member of the Trio d’Amsterdam (with clarinetist Eric Hoeprich and fortepianist Stanley Hoogland), she made a New York debut at the Frick Collection, which was recorded for National Public Radio and also appeared in Lincoln Center’s “Great Performers” series in 1996. The trio recorded a CD for Koch. She has performed and recorded with orchestras such as The Classical Band (Sony), La Petite Bande (Harmonia Mundi), La Stagione Frankfurt (Harmonia Mundi), the Netherland Bach Society, Ensemble Bouzignac (Vanguard) and L’Orchestre des Champs-Elysees under the direction of Philip Hereweghe (Harmonia Mundi). In Holland, she was active as a chamber musician, performing throughout Europe and the United States to critical acclaim. For five years she played with the award-winning Euridice Quartet. The quartet recorded a CD of the string quartets by Ravel and Debussy (Vanguard). She has also recorded a CD of French Impressionist music with the Renoir Ensemble, a harp quintet specializing in 20th century music. She has Sketches 4 performed with the Amsterdam-based SoLaRe String Trio throughout Europe, the U.S., and Israel. Tomkins has performed in chamber music festivals such as the Amsterdam Chamber Music Society, Rondje Romantiek and the Moab Chamber Music Festival in Utah. She has appeared as a chamber musician at the 92nd Street Y in New York and has played numerous times in the Concertgebouw Kleine Zaal as a recitalist and in chamber music concerts. She is currently a member and soloist of the Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra, and American Bach Soloists. In 2001, she was the winner of the international Bodky Competition for Early Music Soloists. Eric Zivian attended the Royal Conservatory of Music and the Curtis Institute of Music. He went on to receive graduate degrees from the Juilliard School and the Yale School of Music. He studied piano with Marina Geringas, Gary Graffman and Peter Serkin. He performed at the Tanglewood Music Center in 1988 and 1989, studying chamber music with Gilbert Kalish, Peter Serkin, Joel Krosnick, and others. He has won numerous prizes for young pianists, including the Charles Miller / Sergei Rachmaninoff Award upon graduation from the Curtis Institute of Music and the Grace B. Jackson Award for Outstanding Achievement and Notable Contributions to the Program as a Whole at the Tanglewood Music Festival. Mr. Zivian has appeared as a soloist in Toronto, New York, Philadelphia, and the San Francisco Bay area. Recently, he has begun performing on original instruments, and he owns two period fortepianos. He is a member of the Zivian-Tomkins Duo, a fortepianocello duo that has performed in San Francisco, San Diego, Seattle, San Rafael, Berkeley, Davis, Boston and Washington, D.C. He is also a member of the Left Coast Chamber Ensemble and has performed with the Empyrean Ensemble, Earplay, and Alternate Currents. He is a frequent guest artist on the San Francisco Conservatory’s faculty chamber music series.

Dr. Goheen hopes to shed some light on the causes, prevention and treatment of arthritis. He notes there are quite a few things one can do to prevent and treat this condition. The presentation will cover some treatments that have not been as beneficial as once thought and others that were considered as ineffective but have merited more consideration. Monday, November 2, 2009, 7:00 p.m. Admission is $5 If you Google “arthritis” on the Internet, you’ll get about 30 million hits. Finding one’s way through the data can be rather challenging. Dr. David Goheen in his November 2, 2009 talk titled “Bones and Joints” hopes to unravel some of the complexity and confusion surrounding this topic. His lecture will offer valuable information for almost everyone because almost anyone who lives long enough develops a degree of degenerative arthritis. There are many other types of this disease, some of which Dr. Goheen will mention, but pretty much all of them finally result in pain and loss of mobility and limb function due to joint destruction. David Goheen Some of the interventions he will cover are extremely satisfactory. The most dramatic, joint replacement, is really quite recent, and is among the most common elective surgical procedures worldwide. Though there are controversies among surgeons about details of this surgery, no one questions its usefulness David Goheen is a retired orthopedic surgeon who resides on The Sea Ranch with his wife, Carrie, and his Portuguese Water Dog, Sofie. After earning a PhD in applied mathematics at UC Berkeley he chose medicine as a career. Prior to becoming Professor of Orthopedic Surgery at UCSF and Staff Officer at John Muir Medical Center, he worked in Graz, Austria and Edinburgh, Scotland. An admission charge of $5 will be collected at the door. This is Goheen’s second presentation. His last talk was well received and dealt with a brief history of medical charlatanism. The Dolphin Gallery presents: through November 19, 2009 Grant Writing Gualala Arts has recently formed a committee to focus on matching grant opportunities to the needs of Gualala Arts. We are looking for some additional members for this committee.

Sketches 8 Margaret Bolt, Ceramics Chris Johnson, Gourds Sharon Nickodem Gualala Arts’ 2009 Volunteer of the Year David “Sus” Susalla, exclaims, “We could not be more proud to announce the volunteer of the year, Sharon Nickodem! I cannot think of a volunteer who wears as many hats as Sharon here at Gualala Arts. It takes a very caring, dedicated, hard working, multi-tasking person to help in so many ways. We are honored to have her in our Family!” Sharon is most proud of her creative donations. The Intel - United Way campaign allows her to donate to Gualala Arts. United Way then distributes these matching funds to Gualala Arts, thus doubling the community value of her donation. The second program, the Volunteer Matching Grant program, pays the approved non-profit organization $10/hour for each hour she volunteers. Not only does Gualala Arts receive the direct benefit of her service, we receive a financial benefit as well. Wow, Sharon, thank you!
